This is a clip from a livestream of the Mayon Volcano in the Philippines (the country’s most active volcano) that captured a meteor speeding by behind the active eruption. How about that! But are we SURE it was a meteor? Because MAYBE– “It’s not Frodo trying to throw the One

This is a short but delightful ASMR video of a Black and Rufous Sengi (aka elephant shrew) eating a flying insect at the Hertfordshire Zoo and looking too cute to compute the entire time, even if it does have bug hanging out of its mouth. Just look at that snout!

This is a video of a honey buzzard eating the larvae out of a beehive while all the bees panic and attack. The birds have specialized shield feathers around their faces to help prevent stings. This video reminds me a lot of myself while I’m eating the entire pumpkin pie

The spiders only venture to the surface to collect air bubbles, which they collect around

This is some footage from the remote operated submersible Hercules captured while exploring Kingman Reef in the Central Pacific of an octopus of the subfamily Bolitaeninae that looks like a red balloon. The only thing missing is Pennywise holding it on a string and trying to convince me to hang
